Whole Formulas Valerian Extract - Alcohol-Free, 1 fl oz

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a delicate flowering perennial native to Europe and Asia. Its name is derived from the Latin valere, meaning "to be strong."

Since the second century A.D., the root of this plant has been used to naturally subdue insomnia, anxiety and nervousness. Galen, an ancient Greek physician, surgeon and philosopher, prescribed it for insomnia. It is thought valerian may work by increasing gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, although this has not been proven.

GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which has a calming effect on the body and promotes a focused state of mind.

Dosage

Take 30-60 drops in water or juice, 2-3 times daily or as needed to help facilitate deep healthy sleep.

The Benefits of Herbal Extracts:

Potency

The herbs used in Whole Formulas extracts are picked at the peak of their growth cycle to ensure maximum potency, then processed immediately upon receipt to capture their inherent vitality. Extracts are often the preferred choice of herbalists and naturopaths for this reason.

Bioavailability

Due to common digestion issues, many people have trouble fully breaking down pills and tablets. With extracts, the plant material has already been processed during formulation. All that remains is the full-spectrum of potent active nutrients ready for absorption.

Convenience

Simply place the recommended dose in water or juice and drink. The built-in dropper cap makes it easy to control dosage.
